About me
I am a recent graduate of the University of St Andrews where I was awarded a 2:1 degree in International Relations.
Since graduating from university I have been working as PA and studio assistant to my father who is an established international artist. This role has not only granted me with an understanding of the way in which the creative industries function but has also taught me the importance of building a strong rapport with clients whilst maintaining a professional demeanour in order to best represent my father’s practice.
During my time at university I enjoyed a demanding extra-curricular workload which best demonstrates my abilities to multitask and work under pressure. As financial director for the Don’t Walk Charity Fashion Show my (excellent communication skills) were chiefly demonstrated by the negotiation of contracts with corporate sponsors such as Celine and Vivienne Westwood.
My organisational abilities and creative flair is demonstrated by my role in the co-founding of a one day music and arts festival called Szentek. This was a challenging and varied role involving everything from; planning the event’s bus timetable to booking the DJ Wankelmut as our headline act, liaising with his agent to discuss the fine details of his rider and handling all travel and accommodation arrangements.
Projects
- Settlement at Heysham HillThe sculptures, a series of mirrored dwellings, invite viewers to consider human settlers’ influence on Morecambe Bay. Six mirrored figures reflect upon the idea of sites of human settlement, reminding the viewer of the generations working the land and the sea in centuries gone by.
